Supplemental Education Service and Public School Choice

Supplemental Education Service (SES)

Under No Child Left Behind (NCLB), schools receiving Title 1 funds that have been identified as a Program Improvement (PI) school must offer Supplemental Educational Services (SES) to eligible students. The SES program offers parents a chance to get their children extra academic help in reading and mathematics through free tutoring. Green Dot recommends New Hope Academy of Change for SES tutoring:

Parents may also choose another SES provider from the list approved by the state. If you are interested in enrolling your child in SES, please contact the school office.

Public School Choice (PSC)

All parents/guardians of students attending a Program Improvement (PI) school have the right to request a transfer of their children to a non-PI school. Students enrolled in charter schools have the option of returning to their "home" public school. If the home public school is a PI school, the student may request a school transfer to a non-PI school in the home district, with paid transportation, by contacting the district.

The home district will pay for transportation costs. The number of students who can transfer with paid trnasportation may be limited by the amount of money available to pay for transportation costs. If there is not enough money available, the lowest-achieving students from low-income famililes will be given priority. However, you can always request a school transfer to a non-PI school without paid transportation

If you are interested in transferring your child to a non-PI school in your home district, please contact Megan Quaile, Vice-President of Education at mquaile@greendot.org. The following non-PI schools are available for transfers:
